Hello Everyone
I am doing my first tri - Olympic - London in August.
I am a good runner - but half decent the rest......
Just wanted to know everyones breathing techniques in the swim? been trying out a few different strategies but am thinking that breathing more regularly per number of strokes seems my best bet.............?
Also - what is the average spilt times of the field for the three disciplines??????
Trying to guage where I am / should be....
Thanks
Newbie

I have been told to breathe both sides and do that all the time now. have no idea about times
cool - yea breathing a ridiculous amount seems about right! I have been trying to pick things up naturally and am doing ok - but some points are so specialized it seems silly not to do the research.!
how much training are you doing?
I am doing about 2 * hour sessions of each a week at the moment
I use a trainer as my work week is so busy travelling / working it instills some discipline and targets plus I (re)organise meetings so I can train and my work lets me take time if needs be. So I know what type of hotel I need. I am used to training for just one discipline.
I am learning all the time. I have no really good discipline but possibly strongest at bike as I used to race a lot on the road and then/now BMX. I love swimming anyway so that is good.
Plus I like this training on my own.
